| Summary: | Understanding ocean waves involves looking at the processes that drive them and determining their development including the energy removed from waves by wave breaking and white-capping, and nonlinear wave-wave interactions. In this study, the contributors consider: <br>-- How observed waves grow and develop, maintaining an equilibrium with the wind, being driven by wind and also modifying the wind.<br>-- How ideal potential waves grow and develop, as well as the spectra of wind-wave turbulence.<br>-- The modelling of nonlinear wave-wave interactions, wind input and wave dissipation in shallow water and turning wind situations. |
